Hi all,

First time posting here. I was wondering if I could get some assistance in understanding where the 'description' field value is displayed to end users:
IE.,

 "transactions": [
  {
    "amount": {
    "total": "30.11",
    "currency": "USD",
    "details": {
      "subtotal": "30.00",
      "tax": "0.07",
      "shipping": "0.03",
      "handling_fee": "1.00",
      "shipping_discount": "-1.00",
      "insurance": "0.01"
    }
    },
    "description": "The payment transaction description.",

 After creating a payment with the description above, I am not able to find the 'The payment transaction description' string in either the payment approval screen, or in the transaction summary menu.

 

Thanks in advance!

Andy

The "description" will be shown on the transaction details page, within the "order details" section as shown below
